Movie Info
Diane Lane is a wayward wife and Richard Gere is her suspicious husband in Adrian Lyne's Unfaithful. Connie (Lane) leaves her suburban home on an errand, venturing into Manhattan during a wicked windstorm. On a trash-strewn Soho street, she literally runs into Paul Martel (Olivier Martinez), a handsome young Frenchman carrying a huge stack of books. Connie has a bad scrape on her knee, and is unable to get a cab, so Paul invites her up to his apartment. Paul is quietly flirtatious as he gives

A movie about sexuality that really throbs with eroticism.
Top CriticThe movie is called Unfaithful, but it's actually extremely faithful -- to the adultery movie rulebook, anyway.
A glossy, depthless melodrama.
After the plot's big turning point, the movie loses its focus and can't decide whether it wants to be a melodrama or a crime thriller.
Diane Lane is magnificent in this movie.
At what point in the movie is it too late to ask for your money back?
Not for kids, but some adults will like it.
Works precisely because it is so upsetting, unusually so for a studio film, and so empathetic for Connie at the hands of her attractive manipulator. [Blu-ray]
Unfaithful is not so much about the conventions of a typical bored housewife falls for exotic foreigner with disastrous results story, but in fact plumbs the depths of what really constitutes intimacy, and how complacency, rather than the melodramatic ups
[Diane Lane] is more than enough reason to see Unfaithful.
The outstanding performances help smooth over the plot devices.
Devolves...from bland diversion into some truly unsettling sexual politics, and tumbles from that already low plateau into an ersatz In the Bedroom.
